I feel like the space is perfect for small wedding receptions, community gatherings or family events. The decor leans towards religious, and there is no mistaking their feelings. The menu is small, but they cover the basics. They have burgers, a meatloaf plate or sandwich and plated salads that sounded good. I had the cheeseburger with green beans and hubby had the meatloaf plate with roasted potatoes. As far as the food goes, we were sad that it didn't quite live up to our expectations. The meatloaf was served dry without a glaze or gravy and just tasted ok. My burger tasted just a little off, but I couldn't quite place the taste. We decided against ordering a piece of pie, so I can't comment on that.

It was an over cooked patty on rye bread, most definitely not a patty melt. The fries were so salty they burned my lips so I did not eat much. The waitress was sweet and answered any questions we had, but once she brought our food she never came back to check on us even tho there was only one other table. I could have used some water.

We unknowingly arrived 30 minutes before close, but the staff was super nice and welcomed us in with no rush. It was still pretty full inside and made for a nice, chatty place to go with family or friends. The menu definitely had something for everyone- all of the options looked great, so it was really hard to choose what to order! We started with coffee before ordering the garden frittata and the biscuits and gravy. The coffee was actually very good- they had a seasonal hazelnut flavor that I really enjoyed. I was expecting the frittata to be fluffy like a quiche, but it was more like a circular shaped veggie scramble. It was pretty standard, but definitely hit the spot. The sourdough bread served alongside was outstanding, however. It tasted super fresh and very homemade. The biscuits and gravy were very flavorful and not too greasy. Given the portions and quality, the price is very reasonable. Would definitely return and recommend making a visit!

It's set up like a bar with warm lighting and little nooks where you can sit and watch the world go by out the front window or have a private conversation in the back on a couch facing a fireplace.

They don't advertise tea but they did have...some...in a dusty box... and most of the choices were just unidentifiable bags...but to be fair, I don't think many of their customers come looking for tea.

The place was extremely lively, which I kind of expect for a brunch place, but there was some serious energy here. The wait staff was buzzing around and I was particularly impressed that what I assume was management was also helping out on the service side pretty heavily. Anyways, I opted for some biscuits and gravy (solid A), scrambled eggs (B+), and breakfast potatoes (A-). I also needed to try the sweet/spicy chicken biscuit deal and while it was incredibly messy, it as very good (solid A). Overall this is a very very good little brunch spot and I would strongly recommend stopping in if you're local or happen to be passing through CoMo.

Wasn't as appealing to look at but it is good for what's around here especially during the Covid-19 situation. Also it comes with a side of fruit which was super tasty and refreshing.

While I stood by the cash register at least 3 different ladies behind the counter passed me by. Not one greeted me or asked if I had any questions or if I wanted to purchase anything. There were no other customers ahead of me or behind me. And there were at least 5 employees all shrieking and laughing in the kitchen and having LOUD personal conversations amongst themselves. Finally someone came out and instead of saying anything to me she just stood and stared at me until I told her I wanted to order something. I ordered a salmon and broccoli bowl and a dirty soda. My wait was not long. The food and drink was surprisingly very good and the place is clean. While I wanted to come back another time and try their coffee drinks I just couldn't get myself to due to how painfully awkward it was to order here. The feeling I got was that customers are a burden.
